this is a general question not rig specific...

I have a pair of high-end Klipsch desktop speaks. I am wondering if I can use them on PC while adding an amplifier to boost sound? I know these speakers have an internal amp already so is this possible?

You can add as many amplifiers in the chain as needed.

Although you may want to consider using an external DAC and amp combo for the best results.
I'm not sure if I follow everything I find online says using active speakers with amps are no no right now my active power speakers are connected to my motherboards onboard audio if I was to buy a DAC amp combo could I use those active speakers or do I need passive speakers
